Analysis of virulence profiles in clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae from renal abscesses: clinical significance of hypervirulent isolates

IntroductionKlebsiella pneumoniae can cause a wide range of infections. Hypervirulent K. pneumoniae (hvKp), particularly associated with the K1 and K2 capsular types, is an increasingly significant microorganism with the potential to cause invasive infections, including renal abscesses. Despite the...
